And I think that this is the thing that "Indiana" is seeking to change.
Many of us see it as a flaw that the opensolaris.org meta-community does
not have a reference distro that *is* more equal than the others.
This is the difference between simply wanting to be a technology source
(think of Xorg) versus wanting to solve real customer problems (think
KDE, GNOME and Apple). An OpenSolaris reference distro that is built
by the people who have already pioneered OpenSolaris based distros, that
pulls together all the best of what we have learned, that forces us to
improve the things that still suck at, and that gives us all a concrete
focus for our efforts - how can that be a bad thing?
I don't know about you, but I certainly would rather be an Apple instead
of an Xorg...
